2010 BU Recruit- Michael Ocherobia

He Definitely sounds interesting to me...

"Patrik Auda (6′9, Czech Republic) impressed us the most and was selected to the All-Tournament Team, averaging over 17 points and nine rebounds. Auda has a versatile game and will likely be a swingman in college."

Ochereobia's teammate from the Canarias Academy, Patrick Auda, is having a great summer...

Obviously his stats were affected by playing behind the guy who was the starting "5" who averaged - 14.3 ppg/7.2 rpg...yet his numbers were as good as other juco All American post players had in their freshman seasons.

Other top frontcourt players like Phillip Jurick (11 pts/13 rebs), Anthony Hubbard (21 pts/10 rebs), and College of Southern Idaho's Kenny Buckner (12 ppg/9.5 rpg) who got TOP BCS offers...

only averaged a fraction of those numbers when they were freshmen...
In fact Hubbard's freshman numbers were far worse than Michael Ochereobia's

Also -- BU is keeping an eye on Paul Bunch at College of Southern Idaho -- but he only averaged 3 ppg/3 rebs as a freshman and much more is expected this year.
 
bunch

bunch

Not sure of the Paul Bunch situation....sounded well at first..then after talking to several people about him and not hearing good things.....more off the court than on the court issues...which we dont need....and remember we need a center who can come in and play and make a impact immediately..can almost guarantee you wont see Bunch in a Bradley uniform.

Gerry, I'm glad to hear we are no longer after Bunch. I saw him play in HS and was not impressed then. I talked to two officials who worked some of his games in HS and they both said he wasn't the hardest worker they've ever seen. Hopefully we can do better at the "5" then him.
 
Just heard that Michael Ochereobia is back on campus and working out...
He is one of three returning players who had considerable experience as freshmen last year...
... JD Danforth (6-1 sg), Michael Ochereobia (6-8 F/C) and Elliott Johnson (6-7 F)

Junior college teams can start practicing on October 1..and can have workouts with trainers as soon as school starts.
 
former BU recruit Mike Ochereobia has now been getting a chance to start & play a lot at the post for Highland CC and is really beginning to produce..

In his last two games he has stood out..

Last Friday against Elgin CC Mike went 5-9 and 5-6 on FT's & had 15 pts & 15 rebs
http://www.journalstandard.com/sports/college/x536734070/Late-run-leads-Highland-past-Elgin

Then Saturday vs. Ellsworth CC he had 8 pts, 11 rebs

Just speculating but I think it's at least possible he could land out west at a certain school.

I would like to see him in a BU uni but if not out West would be his second best option.

"Michael Ochereobia...6-foot-8, 260 lb....
ESPN??™s Recruiting Nation described Ocherobia as follows:
???Ochereobia has a phenomenal, college-ready body with long arms, wide
shoulders, great muscle mass and definition in both his upper and lower
body. He is exceptionally strong and equally physical. He loves to bang inside
the paint and is consequently a very good post defender"
 
Ochereobia won't wow anyone with his stats - but he has been consistent as a starter and occasional backup center

His averages right now for the season are at 9 ppg & 5.4 rpg & 59% FG accuracy
I would take that production from the 5-spot either as a starter or a backup

BTW - neither of Wichita's starting centers (Lufile, Coleby) even come close to those numbers - in fact the sum TOTAL of their scoring in 29.2 mpg (considerably more than Ochereobia) is 8.2 ppg
If you have that and surround it with good guard & wing play, then you can compete with anyone.

I went over to Macomb a few weeks ago to check out WIU and see Mo. Wasn't impressed with Michael at all but when you compare him to what we are getting from the 5 spot, I'd have to say he would have helped us. Probably still been a THur team with him.
